Just realized I’ve never done this. Hello! I’m GR55, or you can call me Nick. I am a Rider fan, and I will take any/all ribbing that comes. I just like to talk CFL with other CFL fans. 27 years young, work in commercial banking.

My take is CF needs to stop this… what would you call it “hero complex” that he’s constantly got he world on his shoulders and is always battling. He’s mentally soft and it’s annoying to see all the time.

Could be a best case result for the Riders to get the brass overhauled.

I wonder what happens with Desjarlais… lots of competition in New England but reportedly looking good in camp so far.

I mean… at one point it was a thing. He may be far from that now, but it was a literal thing that happened. Anyway, all that to say, I don’t think Zach would be nearly as successful in any other org. Winnipeg has completely rejuvenated him.

Hence why hindsight is 20/20. Easy to say now, wouldn’t have said it at the time.

I too am happy for Zach. His career would be over if he would’ve tried to come back with SSK and their offensive OLine. I don’t see it as a mistake that we traded him away because at the time Fajardo was on his way to a CFL all star and West MOP season. It was an easy decision to trade him to Toronto. Hindsight is 20/20 but I genuinely believe if he was still our QB he’d have at least two more concussions. Shoutout to the doctors in Toronto who figured out whatever was going on with his neck.

Just tremendous execution by Winnipeg again. Such a savvy football team. I’m so jealous.

That’s so close to PI. I’ve seen much less called in this league. The ol’ facemask to catch the ball!

Collaros with 53 yards, BLM with 76… this is a ground game so far. Arms should open up in the second half.

Stooooked for this one. Hopefully it’s like the game in Winnipeg, entertainment throughout. Steady diet of Demski incoming. He always has the Stamps’ number.

It is possible that my high school football team had a better OLine than these Riders. When does hockey start

Remove the G and you’ve got a deal! This is best case scenario. This team stinks. More losses will result in needed changes. It’s a good thing they gave me good painkillers for recovery!

The Riders will lose bad Friday. I predict I throw my hat by the middle of the 2nd quarter. Even more sadly, I’m post-op and on antibiotics so I can’t even drink the pain away. Debated going to Calgary for the Stampeders vs. Bombers game, but the surgery was of the emergency variety. Still excited to watch that one none the less.

Is it so much to ask for Jason Maas to put those massive ears of his to use and fly away?

Just saw that as well… I missed the game, was it a lower body injury?

I mean… it’s possible at this point

This is just my assumption - a player was carrying the virus while they flew and it spread. Not sure on that, just seems likely

Thank the lord almighty. CF and his reportedly dismembered leg can rest, and I already know I don’t like Mason Fine.

Ah. Our $275,000 star receiver who drops balls and spits on people.

I think the ‘21 Bombers work their way into the best professional defensive units of all time with the 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens, 2013 Seahawks, 2015 Broncos. Definitely the best D in CFL history. The 2018 Stampeders D was ridiculous and they pale in comparison.

There’s a play the Chiefs do a ton, where the receiver runs in front of Mahomes & he just kind of flips the ball up, does it in the red zone a ton… should try that one with Demski.

I’m at a loss. Several rums are in order. Have a good evening gents.

And Dickie says “I don’t think he would do that” Okay Craig. You’re clearly afraid of your players.

Or sit and let Fine play. My mother, very Catholic woman used to love CF. Even she’s grown tired of his whining.
